## Description

CocoaDebug is a debugging framework for iOS that provides a toolkit for inspecting application logs, network traffic, and sandbox files directly on a device. It functions as a suite of specialized tools for auditing device hardware, monitoring performance, and inspecting network activity.

The framework includes an on-device network inspector for capturing and filtering HTTP requests and payloads, as well as a sandbox file manager to list and modify files and folders within the application container. It further provides a device auditor to display system build versions and hardware details for environment verification.

Additional capabilities cover performance monitoring to detect UI blocking events and crash errors, alongside a searchable interface for aggregating system and console messages to analyze runtime behavior.
